The car was in excellent condition when I imported it from Japan, but upon testing, we spun a bearing. Tore the motor apart, to diagnose the problem, and there were inconsistencies, it appears the car was worked on and ridden hard in Japan, then converted back to stock to sell it.
Oh well, that is the risk.....but dayamm, I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, Skylines are built for track race, NOT INTENDED FOR DRAG RACE IN THE FIRST PLACE. As for the fact that it is good for drag race as well, it's a blessing in disguise...
Secondly, I don't think there is ever a Skyline, GT-R especially, is stock standard leaving Japan. They buy this car to be modified and spend a lot of time driving it hard. If someone trying to sell you a 'stock standard, never been modified' Skyline, you should think extra long and extra hard before purchasing it... Get someone who knows about this to check on the car, because it is extremely, highly unusual... Trust me on this, I've spent hours studying this kinda thing before purchasing my ride...
